Millyard Kawasaki S1 Four Cylinder - Bottom End Build- Episode 5

[@dawlessbeats6223]

He’s not only ingenius on engineering but also artistic video editing. Natures in his backyard, cakes, and camera angle, cut scenes, etc. big respect.

[@petejay75]

An Allen Millyard video on Christmas day, just the perfect gift for all of us here that love your content. Thanks Allen, hope you and the missus are having a great one over there in England. Cheers from an Aussie bloke living in f-f-freezing Finland.

[@SarkarMotion]

Ditto that, just what I wanted to say

[@krugtech]

Aussie in Finland? did you make a wrong turn?

[@Jubr123]

I live in Finland too and would love to visit Australia! 🙂

[@randomworld1]

An Aussie in Finland?! How on earth did you end up there mate 😂

[@alvarsdzenis4739]

I wish your "attention to detail" was contagious. The world could use a dose. cheers🇨🇦👍

[@terrynorris9079]

I have to thank you for the wonderful video clips you put on for us to watch, since loosing my wife to cancer on 2 Dec 2021 I find your clips allow me a moment to help with the grief. For that I thank you. I will keep pottering around in my little workshop (shed). And pretend to be as clever as you. Regards Terry.

[@AllenMillyard]

Thanks Terry sorry to here that but glad I’ve helped you a bit

[@jimengle1615]

A true mechanical genius.

[@tophatvideosinc.5858]

Millard is the only man I know that could actively be making eye contact with you and you couldn't be sure.

[@GoinDownhill361]

This video fitted nicely today and we're all pretty pleased with that. Thanks, Allen, and Merry Christmas everyone!

[@alpiekaar]

when I hear the words “I made in the previous video”. I am so happy I watched the previous video to appreciate what has been done before

[@eliotmansfield]

“I like using my hacksaw” - understatement of the decade

[@secondchancecycles248]

Got an “It fits PERFECT” shirt for Christmas from my dad! Indeed, it does fit perrrrrfect.

[@AllenMillyard]

Brilliant

[@awdrifter3394]

This is so cool, being able to see the build in HD, even better than seeing the old builds explained in pictures.

[@mattsta1964]

Allen's Xmas present to us all..........a vid on Xmas morning + fresh coffee. Perfect

[@tiptopup602]

Perfect Xmas day viewing. Engineering, baking and wildlife. What more could you ask for.👍

[@loddude5706]

More flapjacks . . ? : )

[@doctordapp]

Woohoo, first reaction to this video made for lovers of technology and bikes! It's alway nice to hear the calm explanation of an expert on engine modifications. Really nice to have this on Christmas morning, hope you also enjoyd the cake of your father in law, at least you know from whom your wife has learned! I love the old bakelite meter!

[@slartybartfarst9737]

Video work so good even a view down the pliers bending over the tab, it's the concise description with gifted video work that sets this channel apart, something for novices or seasoned engineers.

[@dukiemoto8676]

I know there’s other builders.. that said they are not Allen Millyard and company! The level of filming/lighting, story line, lovable character development and the always present feeling of accomplishment delivered with stoic serenity. The feeling of full and content but, eager to see the next episode. Excited to see the progression of the build while entertained by the antics of the animals and what delicious confectionaries Traci has conjured up to tempt Allen away from his amazing work. So you see, this isn’t just a another KZbin build. This is family and this is Christmas. Merry Christmas Millyard family😊

[@globalfallout7249]

What more can a man need! An Alan millyard video on a wonderful new engine rebuild mince pie and a nice cup of tea. Lovely jubbly

[@harpoonlouis]

I unboxed hundreds of these bikes back in the day, Davic Motique in Sawley. Never thought I would be watching super upgrades nearly 50 years later

[@Shane-zx4ps]

This man is from another world, we mere mortals can just look on in pure amazement, I think there is a magic potion in Tracy’s baking that turns Allen into a engineering genius. Happy Christmas everybody. 🙏

[@whitefields5595]

Allen cuts Christmas turkey with hacksaw into “just perfect” slices!

[@williamarmstrong7199]

A Christmas treat for all of us who like to get oil under our fingernails! Many more christmas treats like this please. For those of us with RGV250cc engines a step by step rebuild like this would be very welcome. I have a 15' container full of parts if you need some. Just lack the confidence your videos give to start the work. Keep smiling and keep safe!

[@mickthemaverick5998]

I have been following from the very first video but it has only just struck me how brilliant the camera work and video production are, never mind the engineering!! Fantastic way to start Christmas Day, thanks Allen and the very best to you and the family!!

[@bandsawman2]

I was thinking exactly the same thing! And I love the way he describes Tracy's baking - pretending he hasn't got a clue about it ("which is then smoothed out with like a trowel thing...") - brilliant!

[@PropanePete]

Allens videos cover several areas. Not only do we watch incredible rebuilds and modifications, we also get to see what the local wildlife is up to and what's happening in the kitchen. Love the Avo Meter.

[@garymalm]

Shush!!! The surgeon is operating. Wonderful, Alen. Merry Christmas and greetings from Japan. Tracy's Christmas cake looks great

[@rattusnorvegicus4380]

Allen had his operating hacksaw out in his last Kwak 4cyl conversion vid....in this one he`s carefully sewing up the patient :)

[@geoffreyjones2000]

Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones

[@larsfrandsen2501]

Allen, your videos are absolutely wonderful. Virtuosic workmanship, inspiring, soothing and funny. Plus you have this rare combination of modesty and supreme confidence that only comes from being completely on top of your subject. Thanks for sharing your videos with us.

[@OrestisTrips]

What can I say... your content is a biker's dream. Hats off.

[@paulhall170]

"I like using my hacksaw". The greatest quote of 2021! Thanks yet again for letting us see how you get it right every time, with, as someone else said "stoic serenity" (I wish I'd have said that!!)

[@catbreath007]

All without the assistance of a Haynes manual .... Must be great to know what's what without having to consult a book every 5 minutes ... Sign of a true engineering genius 👌🔧

[@jadechan13]

Didn't know it was possible to have 3 lifetimes of experience in 1 lifetime. This man makes everything look easy. Impressive to say the least

[@cerseonbrassmann5222]

Cheers Allen! Thanks for your regular and very insightful videos, showcasing your projects, your skill and knowledge, also showing that if you really want to put the effort into something, motorcycles in this instance, you can do quite a lot yourself! This isn't just mechanical work, it's art!

[@Thouveninpascal]

Mr Millyard is an artist, passionned and making beauty. And all artists, a little crazy.

[@TheMarcball]

Funny that Allen seems to be as impressed by the magic in Tracy's cooking, as we all are by Allen's machinist sorcery (debonnaire as it is). Thanks for the inspiration, and keep on trucking Sir !

[@Colin_Ames]

A lot of nostalgia for me in this excellent video. The AVO multimeter that I used a lot early in my working life. The Christmas cake, one of which I haven’t had since relocating from Coventry to the USA 30+ years ago. The memory of building a Kawasaki Z1B motor on my bedroom floor, getting the bottom end completed only to see the new cam chain (driven from the centre of the crankshaft), still in its packaging.

[@stevec-b6214]

Many thanks Allen, you are massively helping me in my workshop endeavours, the motivation part is often the most useful.

[@mattyb7736]

Alan has the only oval section frame hacksaw in the world that curs straight, the man is a genius.

[@NOELTM]

Gosh the AVO. Brings back so many happy memories. What an engineering feast of riches you have given us on Christmas Day, not to mention food too!. Thank you for sharing your skills with us in such an informative and engaging way.

[@markhensens5989]

Premium content, assembled with such delicacy and professionalism, a wonderful Christmas present. Happy holidays Allen!

[@David-sb7vg]

There’s something on TV about the Hubble telescope but I’m watching real science! Thanks Allen, Hope you had a great Christmas Day 👍

[@toddwilson7265]

Thanks Allen cant get enough of this and hopefully you never run out of Kawasaki bits!

[@oldgold1100]

It's very therapeutic watching you work and mind bending that you do it all from home. Tracy is the engineer in the kitchen, working with great skill too. Thank you for showing us all. As always it was a pleasure to watch.👍 Merry Christmas to you both. John.

[@martinholt2844]

Not an engine man myself, more a polish, paint and chrome guy, but watching your videos is giving me the confidence to look at stripping down and rebuilding my engines. I may start with the 2 stroke first! Great video! 👍

[@danny-li6io]

I literally just bolted into the kitchen to make that oatmeal thing Tracy was doing, minus the mincemeat. We don’t really know anything about mincemeat in America but it’s really good with vanilla ice cream. Tell her I said thank you! ❤️

[@johnpartridge7623]

One of the best Programmes of any Title on KZbin, Period.

[@Dean-does-Stuff-81]

Allen, you are a living bloody legend…. Another great vid. Just love your KZbin style, the hack saw, the baking, it just fits perfect. 👌🏻

[@johnwelburn9966]

Allen makes everything so simple he must be one of the most talented engineers around,hope you have a super Christmas

[@Mokhas45]

Fantastic. For him it's so easy to create and assemble the parts. Most fascinating is cutting an engine by hand with that precision.

[@marksinclair8942]

Perfect Christmas Day video! Have a great one Allen!

[@martinduddridge329]

Much better than mainstream television at Christmas.

[@joebufford2972]

You and Tracy are the best things of yet to watch on machining and baking🎉 You're amazing and she's amazing. I know why you can't stand to not pinch one of her cupcakes😊

[@beakittelscherz5419]

Top Notch assembly ! I love that you name and adress every part while working... There is imo no better way to learn & remember than this way! Thank you and happy hollyday Greetings from Germany . I love your Videos !

[@johnalees99]

I don't want to think how many 2 stroke Kawasaki's you have put together to make it look so easy. Top work! Tracey has basically made 2 slabs of anzac biscuit with fruit mince in between. Two of my favourite sweets in one convenient package.

[@pauloconnor7951]

I just tune in for Tracy's amazing cooking !!!

[@ikkebenhier6831]

My compliments to you sir. This is the best documented DIY i've seen for long time.

[@hoost3056]

Merry Christmas, Mr. Millyard to you and your family. Thank you for sharing your mechanical gifts with us and showing the power of a well wielded hacksaw🌲😃😃🌲

[@throatball]

I wait for your videos every day Allen. I've built lots of XT500 motors and raced my SR500. Your skills are just out of this world. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@philipdavies86]

Merry Christmas Allen to you and your family and all the die hard fans on here, there should be a TV show because alot of people are missing out on your work and projects!

[@lindsaymerritt975]

Brilliant. No open workshop manual to be seen, so assume you know the procedure by heart. Lord Millyard has a nice ring to it. 😊

[@AllenMillyard]

I know where all the bits go

[@zatkins100]

Merry Christmas to you & yours Alan..! Loved watching your content this year... A true British engineering eccentric... A quietly confident, knowledgable & creative problem solver. I myself am not particularly interested in motor bikes, but I find your eclectic content delightful... The kitchen make over is looking great, the bird table & patio are bustling with British wildlife and the thumb seems to be healing nicely... All hail the hacksaw!

[@darbo23]

Superb Allen, massive thanks for putting this amazing content together; your skill, filming and Traci’s baking are just perfect.

[@MoiPloy]

even its not fully assembled ..its already a masterpiece

[@mr.nice.b]

Looks like another day of watching mr Millard chief engineer and Charlie having a few drinks 👍👍👍👍👍

[@MustyChapstick]

I get all my baking recipes from these brilliant videos! Keep up the great work!

[@mikelefevre1701]

Just sneaked into the other room to watch this while the Christmas mayhem continues In the front room😂 excellent really made it look simple - I always get nervous with the gearboxes! 👍

[@arsyadmotorchanel]

machine assembly with simple tools .good job

[@krugtech]

You do more with a file and hacksaw than some CNC shops. Mad hands, mad skills. Thanks for sharing your passion.

[@krugtech]

now make me an engine with 4 totally different cylinders n heads!

[@farmerlamb2372]

You need your own TV programme to inspire the next generation! Happy Christmas to you!

[@minnesotatomcat]

Great video, always love seeing how motorcycle transmissions work. I agree with your statement too, polishing metal to a shine is a very therapeutic thing!!!

[@JohnSmith-pd1fz]

Perfect watching for an otherwise dull and dreary day here in Lincolnshire.Thanks for posting.

[@SuperLaplander]

Lovely video. Looks so easy when you do it. Looking forward to next video!

[@johnburns3703]

I absolutely love these videos, so therapeutic, or is it good just watching a genius at work?

[@sefton1972]

What a wonderful gift. The gift of Allen.

[@paul_zwift_RR]

It's not often we mere mortals get to interact with a living legend! Christmas greetings to Allen, his family and all viewers. Keep safe.

[@stewarthaddon3219]

Lovely surprise that Allen, many thanks and all the best to you and Tracey. Tracey should start her own cookery channel!

[@dannycoultas265]

What a lovely Christmas gift much appreciated allen merry Christmas to all

[@offroad3607]

Great Boxing day viewing, better than anything on TV. All the best Allen. 👍🥳🍻

[@oluffriesthomsen7680]

Love how everything looks so easy, it is beatiful to see his calm working proces. SERIOUSLY an professional. 😊😊😊😊👍

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

Very therapeutic to watch and a few nice smiles too. Thanks and merry Christmas. ☺

[@rogermckenzie2711]

"I like using my hacksaw" and 180K subscribers nod knowingly..... Merry Christmas!

[@treyvanaken5933]

Merry Christmas to you and your amazing wife! I’ve been studying to be a physician this last year and I think these are the only videos that have kept me sane. You’re method of storytelling as you explain the task at hand is quite relaxing! Great work as alway Allen!

[@speedfinder1]

Unmissable Christmas viewing. Engines and Christmas Culinary Comestibles. My festive season is complete!

[@Neontrifle]

A Millyard video is a superb bonus Crimbo present, thanks a lot Alan..

[@tylermegehe]

Thanks for the Christmas gift. A world class engine builder and a world class baker!

[@nicktasker4287]

Thanx Allen For passing on all your teachings 👍 Experience and Knowledge it’s all Awesome 😎

[@AllenMillyard]

I hope to enable people to have a go where ever they are and with tools they have 😎

[@chriswilliams33]

Christmas songs on radio one while playing Allens video, couldn't be better!

[@richardwhittle2302]

Just perfect for Xmas Day Allen - Merry Christmas to you both. Your knowledge of all the working parts is amazing - Thanks for the videos and see you in the New Year 👍

[@kevinchamberlain7928]

These genius's make it look so bloody easy!

[@Boppa1260]

Happy crimbo everyone, thank you for the vid Allen. 🥳🥳

[@johndoogan3712]

Hi 👋 Allen. I've worked on a number of Kawasaki triples during the 70's/80's which includes converting a KH250 with S2 350cc components with 26mm KH400 carbs. It was at a later stage I fitted a complete S3 400 air box 📦 and complete clutch having determined that the S1 250 item couldn't handle the power. This bike in green meanie colour scheme actually beat a H1 Mach III over the quarter mile in a time of 13.1 seconds/90 mph at a run what you brung, Long Marston 1981 with my younger brother riding. He also wheelied a Honda XR500 both ways along the quarter mile earning the name of 'The wheelie bike' that day, happy days and Christmas 🎄 wishes.

[@bananabrooks3836]

Yes, l've been wondering if that clutch can handle the extra power too. Perhaps he will mention whether the springs are from another model.

[@johndoogan3712]

Banana Brooks-I can tell you that. The clutch on the S3/KH 400 is different, it has both an extra steel and friction plate and stronger clutch springs. I know, I built that (Green meanie) bike. The airbox is also different as it has to pass more air to feed the larger cylinders. The bike was fitted with expansion chambers from Serval Marketing, a rear sprocket from the Z400D, S3 front sprocket and heavier chain.

[@chrischappell9824]

Just watched this video after the family have gone....perfect end to a Christmas Day . Thank you for your lovely Christmas present Allen. Looking forward to the head rebuild.

[@james.d.8044]

Ohhhh that outrigger support post you made was incredible 👏 🙌, so cool to see this,and that gasket was art 🎨 😀

[@WorivpuqloDMogh]

I have been looking forward to this. Have a Merry Christmas Allen! 🎄🎅

[@areyouundoingthatorwhat9181]

That Avometer is a lovely old bit of kit,I haven't seen one for years,especially a working one👍

[@bsport131]

What lovely Christmas surprise. Merry Christmas Allen and your family

[@teamjdb]

I realise a man of your talents must have become accustomed to plaudits from the highest echelons of the motorcycling world, but an Ichiban Moto sticker?! High praise indeed.

[@billmoss7320]

All I want for Christmas is an Allen Millyard video - Oh thankyou Santa! Happy Christmas Allen and all the best for the NewYear

[@pilous60]

Hello, Allen, I love your videos which mix a very high level of technology and a very British humor. I love it when in the middle of a video you show us how to make cookies or for this case a Christmas cake. But your accomplishments are fantastic. Keep going. It is fabulous.

[@andrewstoffel1170]

19 mins of tranquility away from the grand kids arguing over new toys, perfect 👍
